The hurricane interrupted our regular work but we hope to get this caught up in 1955. Of course extra help will be needed to do this.


I intend to clean up the trees as fast as possible. We have approximately 2, 000 to climb and that is a lot of climbing. It also means a lot of sawing. The real damage to the trees can be seen when one gets up in them. I believe that the cleaning up of the trees is the most important job we have ahead of us. This- means that funds must be made available. Without these funds we cannot do our regular work and the extra too, therefore one must suffer. I have requested these funds in the budget for 1955,


The loam on the ball field was screened and is now ready for seed.


About four acres of the Frank Sweet Memorial Forest have been cleaned of underbrush. This has greatly changed the appearance of this land and adds to the appearance of the Park grounds.

Report of the Park Department-continued


A gift of land to the Park by Robert Anderson in memory of his father is a welcome addition to the Park and is greatly appreciated.


At this time I wish to thank Chief Packard, Chief Marron, Bill King and Harold Wellman of the Electrical Department, Warren Hofmann, Russell Tennant and the men of his department for their kind assistance during the past year.


My sincere thanks also to the Mayor and Municipal Council for their pa- tience and understanding.


My deep gratitude to the Park Commissioners, Mr. S. M. Stone, Sr., Mr. Harry C. Wolfenden and Mr. Thomas G. Sadler, Jr., and also to Mr. William O. Sweet for their guidance through a troublesome year.


Respectfully yours

Annual Report


REPORT OF ATTLEBORO PUBLIC LIBRARY 1954


To the Honorable Mayor and Council of the City of Attleboro:


Gentlemen,


Your trustees have held their regular monthly meetings thru the year, dilligently trying to make and keep the Library up to the highest possible stan- dard.


The growth of the library, perhaps is reflected in the increase of its use and the book stock. The building was built for a maximum of 25, 000 books. Today we have 73, 850 volumes, maps and pamphlets 7318, and a picture collection of 176, 644. Added to this, is the phonograph recordings and film. In 1953 we star- ted a project of filming the carly newspaper collection both from the standpoint of preservation and to gain much needed space. This will be a long term project due to its cost and will be spaced by filming the oldest issues first.


During the year, Miss Helen Claflin retired, who had been with the library for many years, first as librarian and later senior reference assistant, one of our most beloved and capable staff members. Our children's librarian resigned to accept a position as High School librarian at a much increased salary. This sit- uation presented many problems, but was most capably handled by the Librarian. Mrs. Cavender who juggled her staff around and with the assistance of former staff members and new recruits who were persuaded to help keep things going on. a part time basis.


All the branches have shown substantial increases in circulation and are much appreciated in their communities, but to keep them staffed and in repair ยท is a constant problem. A serious study has been made regarding a mobile unit to care for this condition and some action will be needed soon to properly care for this service.


The Librarian's report gives you a most complete and detailed account of the work and progress of the many services rendered by your library and hopes for the future.


To Mrs. Cavender, our librarian and staff, we say thank you. We are all most fortunate in having such a loyal and capable group serving the commun- ity and their splendid cooperation is most appreciated.


We wish to thank the many folks who have so generously donated books, pictures and council to help make your library a better place for all.


While it is impossible for any library to supply all its numerous requests, it is the policy of your Trustees to try and balance as near as possible the ma- terial requested

Public Library Report -continued


It is interesting to note that the circulation of non fiction exceeds all other classes, which rates Attleboro as one of the outstanding communities in this area.


Respectfully submitted, Trustees of the Attleboro Public Library, Joseph L. Sweet Memorial


Ethel H. Barden Secretary


To the Trustees of the Attleboro Public Library:


The attempt to summarize the activities of the Attleboro Public Library during the past year, 1954, presents a dilemma. The activity, in terms of use of the library, has been great; 127, 555 volumes, and 5919 pictures were cir- culated, a gain of over 12, 000 from 1953. Reference and informational facili- ties are growing in use. School assignments and class room visits, the growing use of the branches at Hebronville, South Attleboro, Tiffany, and Washington School (all had substantial gains) have demanded not only more copies of books and magazines, but have taxed the staff resources to the utmost. In terms of staff, the library has found itself falling far short of adequate personnel.


The elimination of the Staff Secretary from the Municipal appropriation has resulted in a hit-or-miss, catch-as-catch-can handling of clerical tasks. Mrs. Amy Palmer, who had served most capably as Children's Librarian, re- signed to accept the position of High School Librarian at a considerable increase of salary. Miss Helen Claflin, senior reference assistant for a number of years and a former chief librarian, retired in October.


Fortunately staff members of training and experience were available for promotion in these positions, but by the several promotions: Miss Edna Guillette to Children's Librarian, Miss Marion Moore to Senior Assistant A, and Mrs. Alice Kingman to Senior Assistant B, there remained line vacancies which could only be filled by temporary part-time workers. Much credit should be given to the former staff members, and the new recruits who have been persuaded to help keep things going on a part-time basis, but such half measures could scarcely be called efficient proceedure. The Attleboro salary scale is so unfortunately low that library assistants with training or experience are simply not available for consideration. Staff shortages have been especially felt at the branches, where the heavy concentration of children's "traffic", demands a knowledge of children's books a liking for children, and the ability to work quickly, under pressure. The necessary frequent shifts of senior personnel to branch duty, handicaps both bran- ch and main library.

Public Library Report-continued


As the need for branch service is increasing with the increasing school population, serious consideration must be given to the physical facilities. During the summer some alterations were made to the cottage which houses the Hebron- ville library, and fresh paint has revived the interior of the rather shaky portable building at Washington School. It must be kept in mind that these are temporary measures and that the time is near at hand when some more stable structures or else mobile service units must be provided.


An event which was especially welcome was the opportunity to meet mem- bers of the Municipal government, informally, and to show some of the behind-the- scenes work of the library. One evening in April, the Mayor and 8 members of the City Council, visited the library upon invitation of the Trustees. Staff mem- bers acted as guides and explained the various phases of library activities. It is hoped that there may be other friendly, discussion tours such as this.


Extra-mural activities of staff members have included University extension study courses, attendance at professional meetings, participation in the programs and official duties of the Massachusetts Library Association and the Old Dartmouth Library Club. Staffing and decorating a booth at the annual Rotary Show, and the giving of book and Meet-Your-Library talks, active membership in religious and community organizations have also been a means of sharing library services.


Although the particular service which a library can give usually takes pre- cedent over consideration of the physical plant, the latter must be given its share of thought.


Several major repair and alteration jobs were included in the year's work. A new fire box was installed in the boiler. The hurricane damaged roof was re- paired, bronze stair rails were installed, as a safety measure, on the top floor and inside the main entrance door. The leaky skylight was removed, and the space boarded to provide excellent storage space. The unsightly and unsafe rattan chairs in the lecture hall were replaced by attractive, more comfortable, and easily mov- able steel folding chairs. Plans for 1955 include some repainting of the front por- tion of the building, repair of eroded sandstone ornamentation, weatherstripping, and the painting of the walls in the music room.


A major project for the preservation of local news records was begun, by the filming of early newspapers and the purchase of a Micro Photo reading machine. This is a long term project, spacing the work (and cost) of filming over a period of years. Those papers which show the greatest deterioration will be processed first, plus the current issues at quarterly intervals.


As library service develops, media other than books serve the cultural needs of a community. Not only film, but phonograph recordings are now essen- tial library equipment. A beginning was made in 1953 with the installation of Hi fidelity reproducing equipment. The response has been enthusiastic, and the re- quest for loan and/or listening records will doubtless always far exceed the avail- able supply. In addition to music, it is planned that documentary recordings shall be a part of the collection.

Annual Report


Public Library Report-continued


The library book collection has been favorably commented upon by the ever- growing number of local students who find that larger metropolitan libraries are more inconvenient to use or less accessible. No book stock is ever large enough, nor will it suit everyone. However, in the 73, 850 volumes available at the Attle- boro Public Library and in the collection of maps, pamphlets (7318), and pictures (176, 644), many of them generously supplied as gifts and In Memoriam the people of Attleboro will find material for recreation, inspiration, and information.


To the many who have, by gifts, work, and words, contributed to the ser- vice which the Attleboro Public Library can give to the community, and to the Library Trustees, whose council and understanding mean so much to the Staff,


A Hearty Thank You


Respectfully submitted,


Lucile P. Cavender Librarian

Annual Report


TREASURER'S REPORT 1424


Honorable Cyr .. K. Brennan, Mayor Members of the Municipal Council


Receipts totaling Four Million Dollars were handled by the personnel of the City Treasurers Office namely: Edward JJ. Healey, Treasurer, Marguerite Warren (Formerly City Treasurer) Chief Clerk Bookkeeper, and Joan Greenier her assistant. All City appropriations were also disbursed thru this office and they totalled Four Million Dollars. These disbursements were all made by checks drawn on either the First National Bank of Attleboro or the Attleboro Trust Com- pany, and the total number of checks issued was 45, 962. The processing of these checks is very time consuming for first of all they must be typed or printed on an Addressograph (check-writer), next they must be individually enveloped and sealed for mailing. After they are cashed by the recipients they must again be processed to reconcile our bank balances and also show just what checks are outstanding, las- tly they must be packed and filed away for possible future reference.


The legal borrowing capacity of the city is set by the Commissioners of Corporations and Taxation. In regard to borrowing in the past year, the treasurer negotiated and executed Bonds totaling $940, 000. 00 consisting of $140, 000. 00 for the Luther Dam and Reservoir and $800, 000. 00 for the new South Attleboro Junior High School. Also Notes were issued in anticipation of taxes in the amount of $600, 000, CO. Incidentally the last major bond issue was back in 1951, so one can see at a glance that a great deal of detail work was put into this particular phase of the Treasurers Duties.


A weekly task is the handling and counting of the Parking Meter Money, This job is usually performed at the first of each week. Superintendent of Meters, John Drew collects the money from each meter and then the pennies are separated from the c.ckles and thence it is taken to the First National Bank thru whose gen- erosity it is counted on their machine before being deposited.


Another of the Treasurers responsibilities is the Tax Title Account. This involves the final collection of forclosure of property whose taxes have not been paid for over two years. Notices are sent cut periodically and if the account is not satisfied proceedings of foreclosure must necessarily follow.


The Trust Funds numbering about thirteen and amounting to approximately $133,000. 00 are under the administration of the Treasurer and his staff. The disposition of these funds are spelled out in wills or Trusts for certain definite purposes, many of them have to do with recreation and the upkeep of our parks and playgrounds and others are concerned with advanced educational scholarships.


If this first year of your Treasurer in office has achieved any amount of success it is due to the aid and assistance of those in my own office who served themselves as treasurer and also served under the late Mr. Marshall. The staff of the City Clerks Office, who share the same overcrowded quarters, have been very cooperative in all matters under sometimes difficult working conditions and ..

the kindly guidance of the heads and staffs of the other Departments, both in City Hall and various other places in the city has been most appreciated.
